In a food processor, purée chopped green onion with 1 cup of corn until smooth. Add the remaining cup of corn and cornmeal to the processor and pulse just a few times to mix but not purée.

Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate them.

On medium heat, fry spoonfuls of the mixture in batches in a large cast-iron skillet with enough oil to cover the surface of the pan. Pan-fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

For a lower-fat alternative, bake the fritters on a lightly oiled pan at 400°F for about 20 minutes, until browned, flipping halfway through. Serve with Avocado Basil Dip.
